The whole thing is a great listen from top to tail!

After several months on tour with LIMBO Elyas was happy to return to his kiez favourite musical hang out Artliners Berlin in Friedrichshain! RBB Television came out to see the show and brought along their cameras to make this lovely interview and mini-feature on a for ZIBB “Zuhaus In Berlin & Brandenburg“!

Welcome to the first Episode of ECSTATIC MUSIC FOR SAVAGE SOULS …. LUCID MUSES MORNING HOUR. The premiere offering from Elyas on MixCloud!

To create this episode Elyas excavated through his immense library of released and unreleased work to dig out musings and glimpses he wants to share. Think of it as literally peaking into the artists studio… go behind the curtain!

On FRIDAY, April 21st t Festal Kzreuzberg Berlin, Elyas Khan will rock 2 Tracks as part of a Berlin All-Star line-up as we come together to commemorate, and celebrate, the ascension of our Purple Majesty into the cosmos… for those of us who were rocking our bootlegged Black Album tape cassettes back in ’86, Elyas has a special surprise for you! ALSO… A RARE FOOTAGE VIDEO PRESENTATION OF PRINCE!

O(+> Prince Rogers Nelson was never one to let anyone wrap him up in a pussycat bow. Pop-star. Rock-god. Funk-master. Preacher. Satyr. Dandy. Workhorse. Gender-bender. Monk. Magician. Philanthropist. Joker. Svengali. Recluse. Showman extraordinaire. He was a man of luminous, full-throated joy, and deep, shattering longing. Of indestructible groove laced with an abyssal ache that he was certain (and he was right) could be made to take flight through the transcendent, propulsive power of music. He played guitar like he was making love and talking in tongues. He sang like an angel and a man possessed. He was reverence and sin. Confusion and commitment. Artifice and naked emotional exposure. He hated being stared at but wanted everyone to look at him. And when we looked, we were as awed as he wanted and needed us to be, and we offered up the love that he asked for and that he made, and for a long time it was enough, it was everything, and at the same time it was not and could never be enough.

O(+> On April 21st, a year exactly since our Purple muse passed, we celebrate his legacy. Bands and artists from all persuasions will gather to pay tribute to a man who changed the face of music forever.
“Can it be in this seemingly short space of time, we’ve lived a year or 2 inside our minds?
Now I want 2 spend my whole life through inside of U” – Prince / The Grand Progression (1989/Unreleased)

Very excited to have composed an original score for the Janwaar Castle Skateboard Park India skateboarding community and educational program. The aim is to get these rural kids from a small village in Madhya Pradesh India, attending class regularly through the natural motivator which is skateboarding… No school, no skateboarding.

I remember when I first rode a board: Sheer bliss, MAGIC! As you might imagine, unlike before, class has been FULL!

This record-breaking, award-winning sensation is a celebration of otherworldly proportions, directed by Scott Maidment, and presented in a magnificent 1920s inspired Spiegeltent.

Music is a dominating force of the production. Ringmaster and Band Leader ELYAS KHAN is accompanied by exceptional musicians Mick Stuart and Eamon McNelis as they breathe new life into New York’s own Sxip Shirey‘s compositions of exclusive music for the show with ecstatic melodies, irreverent electric-acoustic noise and playful, sexy beats.
